From a cursory look at the libvirt fork, there are some questionable
choices.  E.g. the config code (libvirt/src/qemu/qemu.conf) is modified
such that QEMU is launched as 'root'.  That means a bug in QEMU ==
instant host compromise.

All Linux distributions (that matter) configure libvirt to launch QEMU
as a regular user ('qemu').  E.g. from Fedora's libvirt RPM spec file:

    libvirt.spec:%define qemu_user  qemu
    libvirt.spec:           --with-qemu-user=%{qemu_user} \

    * * *

There are multiple other such issues in the forked libvirt code.
